    So i walked into JB HiFi today to check out the S25U in person. IMO it looks great and quite premium in titanium and with the rounded edges! I had it in my cart online, was looking around a $600 changeover for my S24U, but decided to hold off last minute and didn't proceed. I think it's a neat revolution, but ultimately I want to go down the fold phone route next, and eager to see what the Fold 7 brings. If it has S Pen support, I'll be all in.

    Spent the $600 on a Lobster dinner and pair of Sony Ult Wear headphones instead 😀

      Gotta sort out prioritity in how to spend money.
      For me personally, after all the code stacks/cancellation and trade in, it costs me $150 to swap from s24u to s25u.
      Was the upgrade necessary? No.
      Did it make some financial senses? Yes.
      Hear me out;
      - After a year of using my s24u, a battery refresh cost $99.
      - Another year of staying on s24u, the trade in value will depreciate to $600 (curent value for S23U)
      - a new phone with better battery and better resell for only $150 is too good to be missed.
      - this echos with my previous comment with many upvote that the new s25u will cost $1.1k out of pocket. The trade in with codes and other hacks made this deal 400+ votes for valid reasons.

        How did it cost you $150??

      • dubo1981 on 25/01/2025 - 17:59

        Agreed. This was how I decided to upgrade as well. Currently, the S23U 256GB is worth $200 less than the S24U 256GB. I'll be about $200 out of pocket upgrading from the S24U 256GB today.

        So potentially this year's upgrade to the S25U is close to free, assuming I upgrade next year also. If I skipped upgrading this year and went from S24U to S26U in 2026, I'm guessing I'd be $400 out of pocket. Now that I've upgraded to the S25U, I'm expecting to be about $200 out of pocket in 2026.

        • ubiq on 25/01/2025 - 20:05

          You're missing the fact that if you don't skip the upgrade in 2025 you will be $200 out of pocket for 2025 and $200 out of pocket in 2026, so $400 out of pocket whether you upgrade to the s25 or skip it.

          • CodeXD on 25/01/2025 - 20:25

            @ubiq: It is only $250 ish for me to upgrade from S23U 512gb to s25u 256gb

            • ubiq on 25/01/2025 - 20:36

              @CodeXD: Yeah even more of a reason to skip every now and then, upgrading every year stacks up

              @CodeXD: That's not like for like though, you've downgraded and sacrificed half your storage. Fine if you don't need it, but it would have cost you about $400 to upgrade to the same phone 2 gens newer.

        • spoonmugen on 25/01/2025 - 21:13

          same… i told my finance that 2700… pfffft fk that…
          then i saw this thread/did the sums

          and would end up paying ~1250 for the 1TB s25 ultra… thats a sweet deal…

          usually my phones last 3-5 years but the jump from 23 to 25 should be noticable with the AI and new snapdragon elite…

      • OZcheepsk8 on 25/01/2025 - 18:00

        I think if you factor in returning or cancelling accessories its free

        • dubo1981 on 25/01/2025 - 18:12
          +2

          I kind of have factored that in. If I can return them I'm $168 out of pocket for the year, if I sell them on eBay I'll be just over $200 out of pocket.

          Also worth noting, there's no guarantee Samsung will offer the same generous upgrade offer in 1,2,3 years. So while I don't need this upgrade, I'm maximising the future trade-in value of my 'asset'.

      • Sydney11 on 25/01/2025 - 21:21

        May I ask regarding the Shop App 5% first purchase? Did you have that last year for S24U 5% discount? Does this first purchase 5% resets every year? or once you purchased with it last year 2024 for S24U …. you cant get another 5% discount for SU25 ?

        • ruthlesskid on 26/01/2025 - 07:32

          The 5%, which AFAIK is tied to the email you made purchase, once only. I purchased s24u last year with the 5%.

          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/16201639/redir
          I did exactly the same thing and swapped a family members S23U 512GB, and it was $400 to swap. However, do bear in mind s23u 512gb was ~$250 more in 2023 compared to base 256gb.
          Therefore, the depreciation and memory downgrade is a $650 lost. If factoring s23u 256gb trade in, its about $450, moral of this storytelling; dont spend more on storage unless you need it.
          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/16201249/redir
          Agree here, there is no guarantee next years pre-order will be as good. Profiteering is the goal of all businesseses, why would they made them cheaper if more people are still buying themselves even with cost of living crisis (this years observation so far)

    • BusMan247 on 26/01/2025 - 00:52

      I hear you. I am still torn.. its in for order on the EDU store, and then I heard about the S Pen and no more 10x camera (thought they would fix that).

    I know the GALAXY2025 code can only be used once per account and I know the $20 eVoucher is limited to one per transaction, but does anybody know if an account can use a different $20 eVoucher on the second transaction? Say I've purchased 2 x $20 eVoucher codes. I used one in the first transaction. Can I use the second one in another transaction? The wording from this comment:

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/16200860/redir

    make it sound like I can't.

    • Avi0001 on 25/01/2025 - 16:53

      $20 you can use on another trasaction on the same account but you will not get $100 second time.

      But you can login through different email address the. You can use that and will get $100.

      • fring on 25/01/2025 - 16:57

        $20 you can use on another trasaction on the same account but you will not get $100 second time.

          No

          You said you have 2 $20 voucher?
          If Yes

          Then login and use xyz email to order and use one voucher.

          Then delete cache of your browser and login with different email address and use 2nd voucher.

      why not create a new account?

          +1

          it's ok. it can be done.

          You are not understanding how Samsung works. There is something called Samsung Account.

          You can create unlimited Samsung Accounts. This is your account. It can be any email… doesnt matter.
          Then the education email account is just a KEY to allow you to enter into the Education Store.

          Many Samsung Accounts can use the same KEY (only one at a time though). All you need to do is ask Samsung to unlink the Key….to your first Samsung Account. Tell them you want a new Samsung Account now… and you want to use that Key for this new Samsung Account.

          takes 2 hours for Samsung Orders (live chat) team to unlink/reset the account, severing the link to the edu.au. So you can relink to a a new Samsung Account.

            @Sydney11: Thanks for that. I asked about this on the thread earlier, but no one was able to tell me if it was possible to unlink/reset the account.

            Is it possible that instead of being just a key the edu email is an account in itself? Mine doesn't appear to be linked to any other Samsung account and seems to be standalone. Trying to use it while signed into any other Samsung account just errors out.

            • Sydney11 on 25/01/2025 - 21:15

              @niyiaw: yes possible. edu.au email can itself be an account.

              It has to be a new Samsung Account (edu.au email) linked to your edu.au email.

                • Sydney11 on 25/01/2025 - 22:56

                  @niyiaw: you can do it either way.

                  You need to understand how Samsung Account works. One university email can only be linked to one Samsung Account at any one time. If you want that same university email account to be link to another Samsung Account, you need Samsung to reset/ delink/ unlink or severe the link, then you can rellink to any Samsung Account you want.

            • Sydney11 on 26/01/2025 - 01:25

              @elvislj: The Accounts team is different from the Order team live chat. I went through the Order team (they should be part of Sales), they helped me to delink.

              I spoke to the Accounts team too, I had to call them (I think they are in Philippines)… they can help with relinking if you have trouble. But you dont really need help in 're-linking', if they unlink it correctly. Relinking is easy… just type in the university email. As long as that university email is not linked to any other Samsung Account, it should work.

              I had the impression the Order team/ Sales team works everyday Monday to Sunday 8am - 8pm. The Service team (technical stuff…) works 24 hours, everyday.

              i cannot be 100% sure. It is a public holiday in Australia after all… idk.

          wasted hours in 2 days with them :) the $400 code is easy to get. The problem is the $20 voucher. At first they said they fixed it so I can reuse it after 24 hours. 1 day later, they said I have to wait until the order is canceled (money was charged, no order was made, so i doubt it would be ever usable again).

    Has anyone sold their overseas bought phone on Mobile Guru or Mobile Monster? I know it says on website that they have right to reject the phone purchased overseas. But they have also mentioned that they may offer an option of lesser value.

    In too late, oh well. If they are denying partial cancellations in chat, they could deny a return postage for the buds in the future too saying it was a "bundle deal".

    After reading through all 30 pages of comments here, I’m still confused and unsure about the best steps to pre-order the Galaxy S25 Ultra 256GB. Things seem to have changed rapidly, with some codes and tactics being cancelled recently.

    If you successfully pre-ordered the phone today, could you please share:

    1. What steps you followed?
    2. What discounts you were able to stack?
    3. What final price you arrived at?

    I’ll be using the Samsung Education Store, I have a Galaxy S10 to trade in, and I can also claim the first-time app discount since I’ve never used it before.

    Many thanks.

      Use the Samsung Shop App, once you're in make sure to switch it over to the Edu store, add your phone, add your trade-in details and $200 worth of accessories. Then add 3x promo codes (GALAXY2025, $100 code bought for $20, and $400 trade-in bonus). That's the best price.

    • MOMEHT on 25/01/2025 - 18:11

      Yes, I read all 30 pages indeed. However, I’m still unclear about some things. For instance, the "$100 code bought for $20" seems to be expired by now. Also, buying a bunch of accessories worth $200 seems risky, especially given the numerous comments about cancellations being impossible and the potential for Samsung to reject refund requests after delivery. What am I missing here?

      • dubo1981 on 25/01/2025 - 18:13

        I just used that voucher 2 hours ago. It is still valid. The terms were 72 hours from start of pre-sale I believe.

        Re accessories, sell the buds on eBay or Marketplace if you can't return them.

For some reason my cart saved with coupons after purchase and allowed me to use my 50% coupon as well. I thought I'd try stack the $400 coupon as well and that's when it fell apart. Lost my Galaxy2025, $20 for $100 as well. Still eating away at me but still happy with what I paid. The 50% voucher isn't worth using without stacking with all the other promos

                    @Avi0001: how can i get an unused code. is it a generic code? surely not everyone is a samsung fan…. there must be some iphone fans there…

                    • Avi0001 on 25/01/2025 - 23:19

                      @Sydney11: From Telco employee if someone is your friend.
                      What I beleive Vodafone & Telstra employee will get 50% off code but I am not sure about Optus.

                      @Sydney11: They said all have different codes, and definitely, it is not generic.

                        @Avi0001: Yes 50% code is for telco employees who complete training. Cannot be used by anyone else as you need access to the telco EPP store.

    Hey guys,

    Thanks a lot, paid $364.99 for S25 256 GB and $227.43 for Buds 3 Pro.

    I just bought Buds 3 Pro, because I could use GALAXY2025 code.

    Is there a way to cancel Buds 3 Pro or return it when I get it?

    Any tips/ideas? :D

      Do nothing

      • Luffy10 on 25/01/2025 - 19:56

        Will I get charged 60 dollar or more
        If I don't trade in I will not get 400 and 150 trade in bonus

        • Wizard on 25/01/2025 - 20:00

          You get all the bonuses they just keep the value of your phone if you do not send it in.

        • spoonmugen on 25/01/2025 - 22:35

          select that the phone has cracked screen… or a watch etc $1-10 item…
          u may be charged $30 for non return item though… its asurion… it can be a coin flip…

          $150 bonus credit
          you're still ~$119 clear

          • Shahw on 26/01/2025 - 03:15

            @spoonmugen: @spoonmugen where do you select cracked screen? I do not see any such option. And the minimum value which I see in phone and watch dropdowns, is $10, I don’t see any $1 trade-ins. What’s the downside of selecting $10 item? Thanks.

            • spoonmugen on 26/01/2025 - 07:25

              @Shahw: after you select the phone… it'd ask you the condition of the phone or item.
              i dont know if it drops it down toe $1 or not…
              doesnt even matter… u'll pay either samsung or asurion

              if its $10 -this comes off ur upfront price to samsung
              but then you pay $10 to asurion…
              if its $150 same thing…

    • buybuylah on 25/01/2025 - 21:06

      Not sure. I talk to samsung they say they will locked out your new phone if you dont send the phone you put as trade in. Kinda stupid.

        They can't actually lock you out of your new phone as that is against the law since they don't own the phone.
        You will just lose the security deposit + potentially an admin fee on top.

        Not sure why people keep asking about the admin fee…. They may or may not charge you $60 or $30, but overall it is generally on par or cheaper than other methods of buying this phone….. If you can't afford another $30 or $60 on a $800+ phone then maybe you should not be buying the phone at all.

        • buybuylah on 25/01/2025 - 21:23

          I actually dont mind paying 60$ for keeping my s10+ instead of losing it for 1$, but I might send it in the end of the day as I used my credit card to buy the phone.

        • AwesomeAndrew on 25/01/2025 - 21:44

          It happens in the USA but likely hasn't been introduced to Australia yet.

      • Aemit on 25/01/2025 - 22:46

        Samsung and Asurion are different entity. so i doubt Samsung have anything to do with trade ins since Asurion charge a deposit for trade in

  • WHL on 25/01/2025 - 20:12

    May I ask how to get the $400 trade in voucher?

  • MrrMagic on 25/01/2025 - 20:29

    Can someone please save me some time in reading the 30 pages.

    Ive managed to get EDU access
    Ive got the 5% off from the app
    Ive got the bonus $400 trade in
    Ive got $1 trade in for a phone i do not even hsve
    I think ive lost $150 trade in bonus, cant see it listed anymore.
    I missed the $20, $100 voucher

    Can anyone confirm that if i fail to send a phone in ill be charged $60 only?

    Also are we canceling extra accessorie and leaving just 1 in the hopes we will get a refund after delivery but not guaranteed?

    • PimpButters on 25/01/2025 - 20:32

      Might even be charged only $30 for the phone as it is under $10 value, but it is very unlikely that Samsung will revoke the trade-in bonuses as they have never done this before. That's the consensus here based on previous deals.

      I don't think it's possible to cancel accessories anymore without cancelling the entire order. I think a lot of people will attempt to return them once received.

      1) "View all" comments
      2) Ctrl/Command+F
      3) Search for "cancel"
      4) Search for "$150"

          Then you don't deserve the benefits that everyone has spent time to provide.

    • objtrim92 on 25/01/2025 - 22:01

      probably nothing at all.

      there is no Administration Fee $60 for not returning the device in the latest T&C

      The only thing about $60 is Late Return Fee, means a fee of up to $60 which may be charged by Asurion if you fail to post in your Existing Device within fourteen (14) days after receiving Your New Samsung Device to your nominated delivery address. This fee is non-refundable.

      But you are actually not returning it at all.

      No Administration keyword in the latest T&C https://images.samsung.com/is/content/samsung/assets/au/term…
